The life and letters of Edward Thomas,

by John Moore

"I am glad that Mr Moore has written this book. His story of the life of this young Welsh poet, who, passing through great tribulation, found himself at last, is as enthralling as any novel. It is the epic of a sensitive and talented spirit striving against an unkind world. It is the story of the battle of poetry against poverty and heartbreak, and the winning through of an obscure youth to triumph and renown. It is an understanding and readable book, one which carries the reader on, and is supplememted by some important and revealing letters." -- David Lloyd George

About the author

Author of the Brensham Trilogy.

John Moore (1907-1967) was a British author and pioneer conservationist. He was born in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire in 1907 and died in Bristol in 1967. His most famous work was Portrait of Elmbury, published in 1945, about life in Tewkesbury in the early 20th century. This work, along with Brensham Village and The Blue Field, formed part of the 'Brensham Trilogy'. Most of his books had a rural setting and long before conservation came to mainstream media attention he wrote about the effect of technological advances on the countryside and rural life.
